The gameplay is praised for its character balance and solid combat mechanics, offering a fun experience, especially in larger groups where boss fights become chaotic and engaging. However, some players find the gameplay loop overly simplistic and repetitive, consisting mainly of running through mazes to fight bosses and upgrading skills, which can lead to boredom over time. Overall, while the core mechanics are enjoyable, there is a desire for more depth and complexity in future updates.
- “Great character balance, great gameplay.”
- “Honestly, my dream game would be if this game eventually gets a fully 3D 2.0 like Risk of Rain did, moving it mechanically closer to the experience of raiding in WoW-style MMORPGs, while maintaining the quick replayability and low barriers to entry.”
- “Music is great, solid combat, and gameplay.”
- “The gameplay loop seems way too simple, to be honest. You run in a maze-like area until you find the boss room, activate the boss fight, spam normal attacks until you have enough resources to use abilities, defeat the boss, gain loot to sell or use, and then put some points into a passive skill tree system (which isn't anything special). You repeat this loop until it becomes too boring to continue.”
- “Honestly, my dream game would be if this game eventually gets a fully 3D 2.0 like Risk of Rain did, moving it mechanically closer to the experience of raiding in WoW-style MMORPGs, while maintaining the quick replayability and low barriers to entry.”
- “Boss effects can be crazy but fun, especially in large groups. The mechanics of a 10-person game become more chaotic as boss effects scale, but they are definitely more enjoyable.”

Players appreciate the developer's effort to eliminate traditional grinding elements commonly found in MMORPGs, such as leveling, gear acquisition, and time restrictions, creating a more streamlined and accessible raiding experience. However, some still find the overall gameplay to be excessively grindy.
- “Grindy grind grind.”
- “Hats off to the developer for executing on an idea that I, and I'm sure plenty of other MMO players, have had in the back of our minds: to condense the 'game' of MMORPG raiding down into a standalone experience, stripped of the level grind, gearing up, gold/item farming, and weekly lockout timers that increase the time commitment of being an MMO raider.”
